Places Between Lines
Original plotted works
A small collection of line-built artworks from Places Between Lines, drawn with plotted ink and patient geometry.
A pen-plotted map of Africa, featuring intricate cartographic details and a distinctive wave fill in deep teal. Fine black outlines define the landscape, while intersecting lines of red and green create a geometric pattern across the surrounding ocean. A composition built through carefully plotted layers, balancing geographical detail with color and texture.
A pen-plotted map of South America, defined by fine cartographic details and a strong, elongated silhouette. Delicate black outlines trace coastlines, borders, and terrain, while subtle horizontal lines add texture across the land. In the surrounding ocean, radiating blue lines create a sense of movement and depth, giving the composition a clear geometric structure. A composition built through carefully plotted layers, balancing geographical detail with line, space, and rhythm.
A pen-plotted map of the Greek Islands, featuring fine cartographic details and a wide, open composition. Delicate black outlines trace the islands across the sea, while intersecting lines in blue, green, and warm red create a geometric field that gives the piece movement and depth. Soft areas of colour draw attention to selected islands, adding contrast and rhythm within the larger composition. A composition built through carefully plotted layers, balancing geographical detail with line, colour, and space.
A pen-plotted map of Japan, combining intricate cartographic details with a bold, minimal composition. Fine black outlines trace the islands, while delicate hatching adds texture to the landscape. Behind the map, hundreds of precisely plotted red lines radiate into a circular form, creating a striking reference to Japan’s rising sun. A composition built through carefully plotted layers, balancing geographical detail with bold colour, geometric precision, and open space.
A pen-plotted map of New Zealand, featuring fine cartographic details and a spacious, minimal composition. Delicate black outlines trace the North and South Islands, while subtle teal textures bring selected landscapes into focus. Across the surrounding ocean, diagonal blue lines create a calm geometric field that gives the piece rhythm, clarity, and depth. A composition built through carefully plotted layers, balancing geographical detail with line, space, and texture.
A four-color study of Tokyo, where the Imperial Palace sits within layered moats, gardens, roads, and railways. Parks, water, and buildings are filled with different variations of parallel line patterns, creating a textured contrast between the open palace grounds and the dense city around them. Plotted on A3, the piece captures Tokyo through structure, rhythm, and carefully separated layers.
